<p>If this were going on in every classroom at Dartmouth, you might have a point; however, this seems to be a problem with this particular instructor and not with the students in general. Merely because somebody has the qualifications (on paper) to be a good instructor does not mean that he or she is a good instructor. Everything I have read about this situation tells me that this particular person was not a good instructor because she was not able to teach the material in an effective way, was not able to effectively deal with the response from the students, was extremely paranoid in her interpretation of particular events, and was combative. I hope NU has the common sense to keep her out of the classroom until she has effectively dealt with her apparent deficiencies. The instructors are there to instruct the students, not vice versa.</p>
